I downloaded the SLIN and I have a couple of remarks.
1) you can't use the SLIN directly on a non-intel machine -
you may have to byte swap it first (took me a while to work
out why I just got pulse modulated static on my NSLU2 home
asterisk! (armv5teb) )
Can you explain in a bit more detail please, or post a link to some
info on
this topic? What procedure did you undertake to "byte swap it"?
Oh, sorry.
The Slin files contain the audio data in a 16 bit format, each
sample takes 2 bytes, but the byte order is cpu dependent.
My home asterisk is running on a linksys NSLU2
(Slug). The CPU in it is an ARM - and it has the reverse byte
order from an x86 system.
I used :
dd conv=swab
to swap the bytes.
I'm using the voice prompts on my 2 datacentre machines, and my
asterisk box
at home (all intel), so I haven't come across this issue. Thanks
for the
warning - I was going to upload the files to a few clients' boxes this
afternoon (which are all AMD boxes).
You won't have a problem with the slin files on an AMD - or any
x86 box.
Tim.
